  • the stuffed tube is then linked and processed asis Well known in the art to produce skinless frankfurters.
  • the meat packer for reasons of economy and to speed up the stuffing operation, demands a shirred sausage casing in the form of a stick highly compressed in length, and with a large internal hole.
  • Such form is desirable to permit easy and speedy placing of the casing onto a meat stuin-g horn, the large hole of the shirred casing permitting the use of larger diameter stu'ng horns and thus enabling more rapid filling of thecasing.
  • Sausage stuing horns are commonly made of thinwalled metal tubing, which are affixed and connected to pressurized containers of meat emulsion. Flow of the meat emulsion from the pressurized container to the stufling horn is controlled by a stop cock. Greater speed in the stutiing operation demands more rapid and uniform filling of each stick of casing successively applied to the stufling horn. While some improvement in throughput of meat emulsion throughstuing horns can be accomplished by increasing" the pressure on the meat emulsion, such measure is limited as excessive pressures may cause adverse changes in the basic structure of the meat emulsion.
  • the throughpntof meat emulsions commonly used in stuling frankfurters maybe varied directly as approximately the fourthpower of the filling tube internal diameter; and-inversely as approximately 2,984,574 Patented May 16, 1961 2 the ysquare of the horn length and the cube of the viscosity.
  • a shirred casing with a larger hole size permits the use of a larger diameter stuiiing horn, thereby permitting greater meat throughput and shortening the time of the filling cycle.
  • Such an improvement is of considerable commercial importance to meat packers.

  • Method of shirring cellulosic sausage casing which comprises continuously moving a gaseous inated tubuV lar cellulosic casing concentrically over a mandrel to and through a gyrating circular passage of smaller diameter than the inated casing and of larger diameter than the mandrel, helically collapsing said casing by orbitally displacing in said passage in a repeating trefoil pattern discrete successive ovate sections of lubricated casing from its concentric relationship with the mandrel, and gathering the orbitally displaced casing sections into a uniformly pleated tube by retarding the movement of the casing leaving the passage.
  • Method of shirring cellulosic sausage casing which comprises continuously moving a gaseous inflated tubular cellulosic casing concentrically over a mandrel to and through a gyrating passage of smaller dimensions than the inllated casing and of larger diameter than the mandrel, helically collapsing the casing by orbitally displacing the casing in said passage in a repeating tetrad pattern of discrete successive lburicated sections of casing helically staggered along the length of the casing, and gathering the orbitally displaced casing sections into a uniformly pleated tube by retarding the movement of the casing leaving the passage.
  • Method of shirring cellulosic sausage casing which comprises inating cellulosic casing to a self-supporting i tubular shape, interiorly and eXteriorly lubricating the inated casing surfaces, continuously moving the lubricated casing concentrically over a mandrel of smaller diameter than the inflated casing, circumferentially gripping and indenting successive discrete sections of the moving casing, orbitally displacing each gripped longitudinal casing section from its concentric relationship with the mandrel, collapsing each orbitally displaced section, angularly disposing the collapsed sections in overlapping helical relationship to each other, continuously gathering the displaced sections into a pleated, shirred tube, and then forming a self-sustaining, shirred stick of casing by compressing the pleats into mutual supporting relationship.
